Today's strict regulatory compliance environment requires organizations to be accountable for securing their data, systems and process integrity. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in serious legal consequences which can lead to hefty fines, costly public lawsuits, lost customers and revenue. But achieving compliance does not have to be a complex and costly endeavor. Organizations that adopt a process-driven approach to compliance are improving efficiencies and discovering benefits that outweigh audit fees.

Symark's PowerSeries™ line of Identity and Access Management solutions provides the security best-practices foundation needed to ensure continuous compliance across multiple regulatory standards. Symark's approach for enabling best practices for security controls includes:

Creating A Secure Access Control Infrastructure - Controlling who has access to systems, files, applications and databases is a common requirement across multiple compliance regulations and industry standards. Symark solutions can granularly define and control privileged and end-user access rights, on multiple platforms, to dramatically improve access security as required by various government compliance or industry standards

Anti-Fraud Controls and Privileged Password Management - Controlling access to privileged administrator accounts (root, administrator, sysadmin, enable), the type of accounts that, if abused, could be used to commit fraudulent acts is vital. Not only do we granularly control access, we can control what someone can do, and when they can do it. Users are granted only the level of authorization needed to do a particular task. Our products clearly enforce and demonstrate separation of duties (SOD).

Centrally Creating and Enforcing Comprehensive Security Policies - Granular security policies can be created and deployed across your heterogeneous IT portfolio, and managed from a central location for efficiency and better IT Governance.

Logging, Recording, Reporting & Indelible Audit Trails - Numerous activities are logged and indelible audit trails created and reports generated such as entitlements, keystroke logs, administrator activity, events and many other metrics including who accessed the data, what action was performed, and when it occurred.
